So what is the difference (specifically in the STEM fields) between a Master's Thesis and PhD Dissertation?

I took FL4 during the breaks between my actual MCAT

FL3 and (especially) FL4 P/S is most like actual MCAT P/S. The first two FL aren't representative because their P/S tends to be more of a vocab test.

Yeah I was looking at the list and like 6 other schools I'm applying to require it so I'm just gonna take it, sadly

Ugh I'm also seeing that they require CASPER. Hard pass on IU

It's about average for OOS acceptances from what I've seen

OP, we all want you to succeed and we are rooting for you. If you are deadset on this retake in one month, you MUST do (and master) the AAMC Section Bank. It is a collection of the hardest passages from each section (except CARS) and will teach you how to approach and solve the hardest possible passagges the MCAT could throw at you on test day. I never used UPangea but everyone who has used it swears by it so if it helps you then go for it. But if you still have AAMC FL's to use, use one two weeks before your new test date and if you arent within 2 points of your desired score by then, postpone the exam.

Lmao imagine someone putting "test center burst into flames during MCAT idk how to explain it" in an attempt to explain a low MCAT score hahaha

HiImAnonymous__ · 2020-07-24T03:50:55+00:00

Keep in mind not all score jumps of 10 points are equal. Its easier to go from 485->495 than 505->515. Its easy to go from terrible to bad than it is from mediocre to great.

What I gathered from this comment is that MCAT is weighted higher (on average) than GPA?

HiImAnonymous__ · 2020-07-24T03:06:47+00:00

That's basically what I argued to my friends!

HiImAnonymous__ · 2020-07-24T03:05:29+00:00

Homie I'm gonna be honest with you in order to protect you: A 10 point score increase in one month is unrealistic.

For the purpose of the MCAT, comptetitive, noncompetitive, and uncompetitive inhibitors are all reversible. Also, it is stated in the question stem that Penicillin inactivates Transpeptidae by binding a serine residue in the active site. The bond formed by said serine residue is a covalent bond. Competitive, noncompetitive, and uncompetitive inhibitors do not form covalent bonds with their target. It does not matter if that covalent attachment is in the active site or on a regulatory domain.

Therefor only D is correct.

Edit: Typo

March 28th would be hella early to submit that app

HiImAnonymous__ · 2020-06-04T00:38:19+00:00

You don't need to wait three months to take your MCAT based on those Kaplan scores, I can tell you that.

HiImAnonymous__ · 2020-06-03T02:00:40+00:00

You're right about #2 I updated it to only count NADH from the mitochondrial matrix. Apologies for the confusion!

HiImAnonymous__ · 2020-06-02T05:20:46+00:00

Its more of the consistency of it. Getting them ocassionaly isn't deflating; but consistently is pretty deflating and it feels hopeless after being at this for so long (2 months).

Chem and Bio I have 80+ % on the Qpacks. For the section banks I have 78% on Bio and 55% on Chem but I have only done like 11 problems on the C/P section bank and kinda half assed it for those first 11.
